TG Geeks Webcast Episode 269

The Two Gay Geeks 🏳️‍🌈 have a chat with Jason Carney, Executive Director, Phoenix Film Festival. We get his reaction to all of the cancellations of film festivals and what path forward does he have planned for Phoenix Film Festival. And we have our usual crazy derailments in the conversation. Have a listen and we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

About Phoenix Film Festival

Phoenix Film Festival is Arizona’s largest film festival and one of the top film festivals in the world. Phoenix Film Festival started in 2000 and has grown every year. Last year the festival expanded to 14 days of programming with over 250 films and more than 25, 000 attendees.

☀☀☀

The Phoenix Film Festival is a program under the 501(c)3 non-profit organization Phoenix Film Foundation, and is a sibling of the Phoenix Film Society, International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival, Peoria Film Fest, IFP/Phoenix, Arizona Student Film Festival and Phoenix Critics Circle. Our mission is to support and develop the artistic appreciation, educational opportunities and growth of independent film within Arizona. The Foundation’s primary functions through its programs are to promote the exhibition of independent films and conduct educational programs that teach the art of filmmaking.

In our second segment, we chat about Andrew Lloyd Webber releasing his musicals on Youtube at “The Shows Must Go On”. We also highlight recent articles posted to the tggeeks.com in the past week. As always we have our birthdays and we have the ever-popular feedback segment.

We welcome your feedback. Please, let us know what you think. Good or bad, we want to know and you could receive a shoutout in the feedback segment. Thank you for listening, we really do appreciate you taking time out of your day to spend with us.

Here’s a special shout out to “The Gay Geek” for graciously allowing us to post our episodes in their Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/thegaygeek. And a special Thank You to Jeremiah Reeves, the moderator, for being such a great guy.

Support Independent Creators

As you know we are huge supporters of Independent Creators and not just in film. TG Geeks supports any kind of creative outlet that’s independent in nature. We know we’re always pushing something, but we’re passionate about supporting indie artists. We ask that you to take a look at the independent creators we talk about and any others you may discover on your own and give a helping hand. It doesn’t have to be much, but every little bit helps in the scheme of things.
